What would you consider your political ideology to be? (lemmy.ml)

I'm just curious for the new or existing people? Lemmy.ml has taken a hard turn to the right since the reddit exodus. There's been a lot of pro-imperialist propaganda being posted on world news, and a lot less diversity of opinion. It feels more neoliberal and neo-con to me.

Does anyone want to share what their political leanings are?

I'll start; I'm anti-imperialist pro-state regulated capitalism. I believe we should have usage based taxes (toll roads, carbon tax) and luxury taxes, and I disagree with wealth taxes for people with less than $250 million. The state should spend more money on consumer protection in all industries (environment, health, finance, etc.) I believe in multipolarity vs. US hegemony.

I believe that the lives we all lead are the only thing that truly matters. As such:

  • we should be free to do what we want where it doesn't negatively impact others
  • we mustn't be enslaved. Not literally and not by the limitations of our birthright, exploitative employment practices, arbitrarily enforced laws, forced childbirth, etc.
  • we need to stand up for those who cannot: minorities, future generations, nature...
  • we should follow the population's consensus whereever possible
  • states, corporations and any organisation in general should serve all the people and not just a select few.

I don't care what label you slap on this.
